Steph Fornasier is a caucasian woman with shoulder length brown straight hair, wearing a pink, navy blue and gold striped skivvy and she is standing against a wooden back drop as she smiles at the camera.

Psychologist and mother of one, Stephanie Fornasier's ‘Psychocinematic Podcast’ was born out her love of movies and tv, and passion to breaking stigma surrounding mental illness and disability.

 

Stephanie, who also has a lived experience of depression and anxiety, is today’s guest on our radio show Brainwaves. She will talk about her own mental health journey, why she became a psychologist and her podcast. She will also talk about depictions of mental illness and disability in popular films and TV and points out why we should care. Well worth tuning into!
